Digging In ...

We welcome those who would like to learn more about sustainable agriculture, combining intellectual knowledge, hands-on experience and good hard work. An internship at Earthrise offers the opportunity to explore:

- Simple and holistic living
- Garden and farm planning
- Organic food production
- Greenhouse operation
- Soils and fertility
- Composting
- Marketing
- Educational programming with local schools
- Food preservation and canning
- Cooking and baking
- Poultry tending
 
Interns will take part in field trips to area farms and local organizations to gain a deeper connection to the community surrounding the farm. This area has a rich diversity of sustainable farming practices as well as progressive environmental philosophies which add value to our community. As part of the experience we ask that each intern develop a project of his/her own that will be presented to the community at the close of the season.
